Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act of 2025
This act aims to secure the rights of public employees in the United States to organize, act concertedly, and bargain collectively. If a state does not provide these rights, the Federal Labor Relations Authority will intervene to ensure they are guaranteed. The act seeks to standardize collective bargaining rights for public sector workers nationwide.
Key points
Public employees gain the right to form unions and collectively bargain over wages, hours, and other employment conditions.
The Federal Labor Relations Authority will determine if states provide these rights; if not, the Authority will administer them.
The act prohibits lockouts and strikes by emergency services and law enforcement personnel if public safety is imperiled.
Existing collective bargaining agreements and recognized unions remain valid after the act's enactment.
